Abstract generation in progress

【Crypto World】Recently at the World Economic Forum, Elon Musk shared several noteworthy insights. He predicts that by the end of this year, AI processing power will surpass the thinking speed of a single human, and this milestone will not be later than next year. Looking further ahead, around 2030, AI intelligence levels may surpass the combined intelligence of the entire human population. This sounds a bit like science fiction, but given the acceleration of technological development, it is not an impossible dream.

In addition to AI, he also discussed the progress of SpaceX. This year, SpaceX is expected to achieve the goal of fully reusable rockets. What does this breakthrough mean? A cost revolution. Imagine the cost of entering space dropping from astronomical figures to just the price of fuel—this has significant implications for the future of the space economy.

At the end of his speech, Musk encouraged everyone to stay optimistic about the future and to face upcoming changes with enthusiasm. This confidence in technological progress, to some extent, also reflects the development direction of the global innovation ecosystem.

Elon Musk is bragging again, AI surpassing humans? Let's wait and see, words are easier than actions... The cost of reusable rockets can indeed be reduced, I believe that, but can the space economy really take off? Every time they say this year or next year, I just want to ask why it wasn't achieved last year? Fuel costs sound appealing, but the real question is who can actually afford it? It's just a game for the wealthy. If AI truly surpasses humans, can we scammers still survive? Haha. This guy is always describing the future; it feels like it's useless right now.

Bro, Elon Musk is the kind of guy who loves to make big moves. Will AI surpass human soldiers by the end of the year? I think it's a stretch. First, get the current model hallucination issues under control before bragging. I believe in reusable rockets. SpaceX is doing real work. Once space costs come down, the Web3 Starlink ecosystem will really have potential. Musk's spiel needs to be repeated every year. Let's just take it as a story. We still need to hold onto our coins tightly. Damn, if AI really surpasses all humans by 2030, should I just dump all my computing power tokens? Just joking haha. This guy's always talking about transforming humanity. Feels like he's always making promises, but sometimes Musk's promises actually turn into reality.

Elon Musk is bragging again, but to be honest, reusable rockets can truly revolutionize the space economy—fuel costs help build the foundation of the space industry... There's some real potential. AI surpassing all humans? Just listen, decentralization is the way to go. This guy's obsession with technology is even greater than his enthusiasm for Dogecoin haha. If reusable rocket costs come down, and DeFi combines with the space economy... that scene would be pretty epic. It's the end of the year and 2030 again, a new deadline every day—Elon Musk's pace... will the coin rise by then?

Elon Musk really dares to say it: AI will surpass humans by the end of the year, and rocket costs will plummet... It sounds a bit exaggerated, but who else is Elon Musk? Anyway, I keep a record of everything he says. If reusable rockets really become a reality, how low could space tourism costs go? That’s the real secret to wealth. Will AI surpass all humans by 2030? Will we still need traders then? Haha. Hearing him say this, it feels like the tech industry will have big moves this year, so we need to keep a close eye. If reusable rockets really become a thing, the downstream industry chain has enormous potential. That’s a long-term bullish signal.

Coming back with this again? Elon Musk is shouting every day that AI will surpass humans. I just want to ask, whose AI can make money? The cost of reusable rockets has come down, but why is the coin price still so miserable... AI ruling the world before 2030? I don't believe it, first save this wave of market conditions. Fuel costs? Just hear me out, space tourism is still for the rich. Being optimistic? What a joke, I'm feeling pessimistic right now.
